To be honest, I recently got to a place where I wanted nothing to do with politics. I’ve been feeling like nothing changes and my contribution doesn’t matter, but your essay gave me hope again.

That is such a wonderful compliment, thankyou. 🙏🏼💗I feel you on not wanting to touch the topic of politics. I remind myself I don’t have to fight the biggest battles. I admire so many writers who tackle extremely dividing topics, bravely! The nice thing about writing a Substack, is you can use it to clarify your own thoughts and strengthen your voice and values while relating it to your own life. Baby steps towards deeper conversations.
